ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave is now oGr cook. About eighteen months ago. she be- came siekly and ha,. n cough and was con- fined to bed, and 1t was thought she had consumption. The treatment by phyaicians Tailed to give relief. In December, 1884, a node or knot the size of goose egg,formed just above the pit of the stomach. which when lanced discharged matter for 8 or 9 months. One of these also formed under her arm, and three on her back. which dis charged matter for a considerable time, For six months of this time she was confined to the house, and most of the time in bed. The stomach often refused food, by rejecting what she had eaten. She used great deal of medicine, but failel to be cured. bought one bottle of your E. B. B. (madein Atlanta, Ga and gave it To her and she commenced to improve. I then bought and gave her three bottles more, and she continued to in- prove and in two months time her cough had ceased, her constitution strengthened, appetite and digestion good, all discharges ceased, mods or knots disappeared and she went to work apparently healthy and fatten- ed up greatly.
 The woman had a married sister of near same age who was affected in precisely the same way and about the same time. She hadassnode or knot on pit of stomach, back, etc. She did not take any B. B. B. and the node on her stomach ate through the cavity She continued on the decline and wasted away, and finally died.
 These were two terrible cases of blood poison-one used B. B. B. and was speedily cured-the other did not use it and died. It is most assuredly a most wonderful blood purifier. 1 refer to merchants of this town.

Planting Eyergreens.

The best time to plant esergreeiis Ii in Inc spring, And n trans u,Msting lire evergreeifs there should he the greatest care to not permit them to lie in the sun or wind. Keep them free from bol!.. Ii the wind is permitted to blow upon them when out oi the gronad il hardens the resinous sap, which all eyergrcens cohtaiti' IL becomes set and gummy. Ii ever greens are well taken care of when taken rom the ground and set out abont the first of May, there ought not to be any trouble with them. Bnt there are those who plant at all seasons of the year when the ground is not frozen, and of this class there are those who say that they have as much success when planting at one time as when plant ing at another. But we advise planting in the spring
 As to varieties, which a cores. pondent inquiries about, We would say that all evergreens are pretty, so far as that is concerned. There ouaht not to be a home on the farm without some eyergreens about the house. The 0rnamentatlon or home surroundings is, as the read CT knows, iavorite topic with the Rural. Some of tho evergreens are little large, but that ought not to make any difference on farm. Any man with hundred and sixty acre farm ought to de vote a half acre to a yard, and that will give room for any ot tue evergreens. A farmer could not very well make a mistake, there fore, if he selected any oftGe ever. greens that he, can most readily get at. The Norway spruce Is highly prized. If the tree is plant ed carefully, the ground mulched with leaves, the Norway spruce ought to do well. Some regard the Norway spruce as the best, and the hemlock aS coming next. If properly pruned, the hemlock will make a very pretty tree. ihe balsam fir and Irish Swedish juni- per are worthy of atteniion,and are very hardy.
 But it is not alone the beauty of evergreens that merits notice from the farmer. They make an excellent shelter and windbreak. A few rows of evergreens, or clumps of Scotch or Austrain vine, on dry soil, will save the owner of animals and buildings money by protecting them from the elements In exposed localities we do not think that g-this feature. can, be estimated. The more com fortable we can keep our horses, cattle and'hogs in winter, the less gain they will require, and the more comfortable we can keep ourselves the happier we will be- Western Rural.

Salt as Seasoning.

Many persons, who all their lives have been more or less familiar with Swine, have a vague idea that salt acts as poison to a hog young or old. Others, however, of more intelligence know that as a seasoning it is relished by and beneficial to swine--as we'll, aud in somewhat the same degree as to man. Taken. in unreasonable quantities, salt like many other useful articles is certainly product i've of bad results. It is safe to say that swine need salt; what a Tennessee man saSS of his plan of giving to them is this:
 Salt itself is too strong for hogs, mixed with ashes it is more so; they will eat but very little in that way. My plan of salting is one gallon of salt to about two gallons of strong, wood ashes put in tight trough, then put in three or four gallons of water Do not put in anything to encourage them to eat it, as they will eat enough any way; besides, if sows in farrow eat too much they will sometimes abort. Keep this mixture by your hogs all the time and you will not have many sick hogs, if any. have been using this mixture about if teen years, and have not had d sick hog, except a few times, when this treatment was neglected. My opinion is that hogs have more disease from worms in the bowels than all other causes together; this way of saltng cleans the bowels of them.

"I hope that God may paralyze mel" were the words spoken by William Burkett at Dougals, Coffee county, last week. At once his hands dropped down to his side. his legs refused to move, and his eyes rolled wildly around. His prayer was answered, as he stood paralyzed on the spot where but q few moments before he was mag niiicent type ofphysicial manhood He tried to speak, but his tongue would not move.

Burkett had been the ferryman at the Hawinsville road crossing of the Ocmulgee river. He was of giant physique, with long gray locks, and became especially noted because of the brace of reyolvers which he kept strapped to his waist. lie was a great hunter, and the ferry being in the midst of swamp he was convenient to an abundance ot game. From those who lived around him if is learned that he was fearlessly profane, Whenever he sighted game and was called off from it hy an alarm from the ferry, he would pour out such a yolly of oaths as would make the flesh of ordinary men crawl. It was while in one of these profane spells that he cursed his Creator and wound mp with the expression above quoted. The news soon spread through the country, and scores of people called to see the victim. He was at first complete. ly prostrntei, but subsequently was enabled [" take few steps, whrn hc would fall.

The editor has great CT variety of friends than other profeSsiops. He has the true blue, yard wide, warranted not to rip. ravel. nor run down at the heel friend. he that sticks to him Ill adj vprsity as we'll as in prosperity; he also has the advisory friend him that continually suggests how the paper should be run, and IS five years behind on subscription.

The preference for either white or yellow corn is wholly matter of taste. Yellow corn has geuer- ally rather more oil, and is pre-, ferahle for fattening, while white corn meal is better for working horses and growing stock. The Western or Dent corn is less hear ty than our Eastern Flint varieties. It has a greater proportion of husk does not weigh SO much per bush. el and is worth less per pound.
